Tracking — overview

The Tracking tab (fifth bottom bar button, label Tracking) is your space to log and review daily practice: Bible reading, prayer, and meditation. It is not your note catalog (Library), writing workshop (Create), or Search in Scripture.

Track reading, prayer, and meditation day by day.

This guide sets the foundation before the detailed pages (each pillar, dashboard, reminders).

Frequently asked questions

Does Tracking replace my sermon notes?
No. Notes (speaker, sections, PDF) live in Create / Library. Tracking is for reading / prayer / meditation sessions.

Can I log several readings the same day?
Yes. The chart counts sessions per day; Your day shows a check as soon as there is at least one.

Where do I edit or delete an entry?
Open the pillar list (Quick access) → tap the row → Edit activity or delete (Delete? — This entry will be permanently deleted.).

“Habits” in the app?
The Habits label exists in translations, but the current mobile UI organizes Tracking around the three pillars above.
